It highlights the game’s recovery post-launch, the depth added by the DLC, and the enriching experience Easter eggs bring to gaming, suggesting the game could have been a game of the year contender in its current state.
The video begins with a nostalgic recollection of the iconic club scene from the 1998 movie “Blade,” starring Wesley Snipes, highlighting its memorable trance music and the shocking moment when the clubgoers are drenched in blood. This scene sets the tone for the introduction to a unique Easter egg found within the game Cyberpunk 2077, particularly for those who have the Phantom Liberty DLC. The speaker expresses a fondness for discovering Easter eggs in video games, viewing them as evidence of the development team’s creativity and enjoyment in the game-making process.
The speaker then transitions to discussing Cyberpunk 2077, acknowledging the game’s rocky launch but also emphasizing its recovery and the value it offers, especially with the Phantom Liberty DLC. They share their personal achievement of unlocking 100% of the game on Steam and encourage players to explore the game’s world, hinting at the depth and additional content the DLC adds to the overall experience.
To find the Easter egg, players are guided to a specific location in Dogtown, where they will encounter a scenario reminiscent of the “Blade” movie scene. Upon approaching a circular building on the southwestern side of Dogtown, players will hear loud party music. Inside, they find a scene of carnage with everyone apparently dead from multiple puncture wounds, setting the stage for the encounter with the Easter egg character.
The Easter egg itself is a character named Wesley Hunt, a clear homage to Wesley Snipes and his character in “Blade.” Wesley Hunt threatens the player but can be defeated in combat, rewarding the player with a leather trench coat, a melee weapon mod, and a shard that provides backstory on the character and a plot involving slow-acting drugs. This encounter not only serves as a fun and memorable moment for players but also enriches the game’s world with its detailed references to popular culture.
In conclusion, the speaker reflects on the significance of such Easter eggs in enhancing the gaming experience, adding layers of discovery and enjoyment. They praise Cyberpunk 2077, particularly with the addition of the Phantom Liberty DLC, suggesting that if the game had launched in its current state, it could have been a strong contender for game of the year.
